  Hi is there anywhere that I can recover a deleted username? I would like to change to my old username but I was told it has been reserved.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No, 4unty can not be reused.

  I would like to change to my old username but I was told it has been reserved.

  What is the old username that you’ve been told has been reserved?

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/4unty is only one month old. Are you sure you registered it here?

  I believe you can change your DISPLAY name on the My Profile page, but you cannot re-use discarded usernames. So just change the Display name.

  @ raincoaster,
  So does the presence of the profile here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/4unty indicate that the username is still active?

  well i think once username deleted, you can’t reuse the same deleted username.

  i’m sorry you cant see the error from the link but what i got when i tried to register the name it said,

  Account Deleted!

  Maybe you have renamed your account.

  If you believe your account is deleted in error try our account recovery form and we’ll do our best to get you running again.

  Right. You’ll have to change the DISPLAY name.
